If you don't want to dice, don't! At any time, you are well within your right to just.. Not Care about dicing, and start attacking.
Very true. It also tends to piss off the people who were doing the Honor system and tends to get you on a Kill on Sight type of thing from everyone involved. Some people who like dicing so much will outright let you die after being attacked by the entirety of the other team, before going back to dicing like they woulda after you had been eliminated.
Some people told me before that they dice for efficiency when they're keying. It makes the rounds go faster when everyone follows it, so they can get the next round going and keep cranking out more and more BG points. With my limited play time, and my complete and utter dislike for the PVP scene, I could get behind it for the sake of those super sexy weapons for Demi-human hunting in PVM. Win or Lose, people still gets points, Sure, winners get more points but still.
The main feature from Battle grounds has always been the Equips you could get from it. Why these Equips for the majority of things are LEAGUES better than any +10 4 slot carded equip you might have made in the distant past. Like the Glorious Katar is better than a slotted and carded infiltrator. That stuffs kinda hard to get considering it's an expensive card rate drop, and the Slot enchantment is expensive due to the RNG of the slotters. A +10 Staff of Recovery just barely outshines a glorious cure wand at safe refines.
